While I was very pleased with the overall design of the phones, the implementation just didn't impress me enough. A few of the "soft" buttons on the handsets didn't work properly, which made programming the phones or working with their advanced features very difficult. More importantly, there seemed to be a high signal to noise ratio while actually using the phone, even after moving the base station to different locations. I guess 2.4GHz is just too crowded, at least in my apartment. I ended up returning the product after 3 days.

The two phones are handy, and the wired base station is great to have as backup during power outage. However the speakerphone volume is too low and the recording quality poor. Also, there was distortion while speaking on the wired handset that was bothersome. Lastly, my family complained of "echo" and inconsistent volume while speaking on the instrument, wired or wireless.

This model worked OK for about 9 months, then the caller ID quit working. It would work for a short stretch and then go out. I agree with the complaint about the volume, also.

I had this phone from October to the 3rd week of january and then even before i had it was terribly crackling and the reception was horrible!Then at the 3rd week of January it started popping really loud like pop corn! 3 days later i was completly sick of it and i threw it away!Phew, Now i have a GE phone that is great and finally works great! I would'nt recommend this item to anyone at all!I can think of other and better ways to spend your money than on this piece of crap!

We have had the same problems other reviewers reported. The caller ID stopped working first after about 6 months. We were unplugging to reset it several times a day. Then even answering the phone became hit and miss. The one good thing is that the manufacturer replaced it with no hassle. So far it has been another 8 months and the caller ID has only gone out 3-4 times in the past couple months. But the volume is not good (I'm constantly asking callers to repeat themselves) and it clicks all the time which is very annoying. We have just replaced it with a phone that got great reviews. I am hoping it works much better than this one.
